Hotels and Restaurants are more than just places of enjoyment – they are meeting points, retreats and sources of inspiration at the same time. Here, the personality of the hosts merges with the wishes of the guests. In order for your hotel or restaurant not only to convince in terms of taste but also to create an inviting atmosphere, light and acoustics are essential.
Light and acoustics, the perfect duo
In Restaurants the focus is on communication — whether during the business lunch, a meeting with friends, or a family dinner. But when it gets busy, the noise level quickly increases and makes pleasant conversation difficult.
Optimized acoustics ensure a relaxed sound atmosphere, while the right lighting creates moods and accents.
Together they make your hotel or restaurant a place that is not only beautiful but also relaxing and lively in equal measure.

Here are some questions we have already answered for you
Planning and Realisation by Ben Elmecker
In the hotel industry and gastronomy a pleasant acoustic environment significantly contributes to the atmosphere. It provides quiet, improves speech intelligibility in restaurants, and promotes a relaxed environment for guests.
Studies show that a pleasant acoustic environment encourages guests to stay longer – especially in restaurants and bars. Less noise means a more relaxed atmosphere, which positively affects the overall experience and can also increase revenue.
Poor acoustics, on the other hand, can be perceived as disruptive and negatively affect the overall experience. In the worst case, the guest may not return.

Yes, good acoustics can significantly improve the reviews of hotels and restaurants.
Research shows that high noise levels in catering establishments are among the main reasons for guest complaints. Especially for guests with hearing impairments, poor acoustics can negatively affect their restaurant experience or even cause them to leave early.
Guests usually perceive acoustics unconsciously, but online reviews often mention noise problems.
A well-thought-out acoustics can therefore not only increase guests' well-being but also improve the reputation.
Planning and Realisation by Ben Elmecker
A quiet environment is essential for a restful sleep. According to a guest survey from 2018, acoustics in hotel rooms rank third in importance, just behind cleanliness/hygiene and air quality. This shows that guests place great value on a quiet environment.
Soundproof doors, sound-absorbing acoustic luminaires, and high-quality windows reduce disturbing noises from adjacent rooms, corridors, or the outside world. Fabric curtains or padded headboards on beds can also contribute to noise reduction.
Poor acoustics in hotels and restaurants not only affect guests but also the staff. High noise levels trigger the secretion of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which puts the body into a permanent state of alert ('Fight-or-Flight' response). This leads to exhaustion, concentration problems, and long-term health issues such as increased blood pressure or sleep disturbances.
In the gastronomy, where there is already high time pressure, noise amplifies stress and impairs communication within the team. This can decrease employee satisfaction, increase error rates, and raise staff turnover — a factor that further exacerbates the existing staff shortage.
Targeted acoustic measures such as sound-absorbing materials, optimized room design, and noise-reducing technology can significantly improve the working environment. Less noise means more relaxed work, better communication, and ultimately, higher employee retention.
Definitely!
The investment in acoustic retrofitting pays off – for increased guest satisfaction, longer stay, and better reviews.
Targeted use of acoustic ceilings, acoustic luminaires, or acoustically optimized furniture visibly improves the room acoustics.
Thanks to our installation-friendly acoustic solutions, which can be quickly and easily installed by professionals, these improvements can be implemented efficiently and without major operational interruptions – for an immediately perceptible effect.
